The Food in New Zealand

Grandma & Grandpa took us to some wonderful restaurants. My favorite restaurant was a place where you cook your own steak or seafood on a really hot brick. They heat the brick to several hundred degrees and then bring this huge thick steak (which is raw) out on top of the hot brick. You then slice off pieces of steak and cook it as long you want on top of the brick. The brick stayed piping hot through the end of the meal. It was delicious.


We also had tacos one afternoon. It was the only Mexican place in Auckland. When we ordered, the man asked us "have you ever heard of a taco?" He then proceeded to explain what a taco was. It was quite funny.


We were craving brownies one of the days we were there. We went to the grocery store and actually found one brownie mix. We asked the grocery store clerk where the chocolate chips were, and he looked at us with a blank face. We finally found a tiny little bag of "chocolate morsels".


The picture below is of Harper trying seafood...I'm happy to report that she didn't like it!
